[quote=Anonymous]I had a coworker who's self-assessment was exactly along the lines of yours - I'm not super organized, but I do my work, and by the time it's done, it's a solid work product. While my time management approach makes people nervous, it doesn't actually affect outcomes.

The reality is that his procrastination definitely affected the quality of his work product (if you spend one frantic morning pulling something together than you should have been steadily working on for the past week, of course it won't be as good), but because he was down-to-the-wire on everything, we didn't have the time to fix it before letting it go ahead - at that point, we were just in damage control mode. Perhaps he took the minimal edits to his work as a good sign? No one was happy with his work - neither the output nor the approach he took, but people are polite, OP. That's what I think a lot of posters here don't get - just because no one's yelling at you doesn't mean they're pleased. They are trying to tell you that they are displeased, but they are doing it politely so as to not make you feel awful. The fact that they don't want to make you feel awful is a reflection on them as good people, not a reflection on your work as good enough.[/quote]
